Development came just a few days after Poland considering his new ambassador to Prague after that diplomats criticized his own country – in that matter, in connection with the Polish approach to disputes with coal mines managed by the state.
From Nowak came a day after the interview was published by the British Jewish news where now said the laws passed in 2018 which tried to be certain statements about Poland and Holocaust “is one of the most stupid amendments ever done by any law.” Legislation tried to fight back with false claims that Poland, became a victim of Nazi Germany, gave birth to responsibility for the Holocaust.
It was angry Israel, where many felt it was an effort to slide the fact that some poles killed Jews during the German occupation during World War II.
His initial legislation prohibited blaming Poland as a country for Holocaust crimes conducted by Nazi Germany, with resilience for three years because it misconcerned German crimes to Poland.
It was then amended to remove criminal provisions.
Last year Poland also approved laws that limited the rights of their Holocaust or descendants to regain property confiscated by the former Communist regime of the country.
The law triggered serious diplomatic disputes with Israel which was still unresolved.
“I think at a time Poland must really come to the conclusion that we have to do something about” restitution, Nowak said.
Nowak has been involved in the Polish-Jewish dialogue since the 1980s.
He became plenipotentiiah for contact with the Jewish Diaspora in July.
